Between this and Tesla's junk bond story not long ago, i'm thinking there are some junk bond shenanigans currently going on in the banking industry that makes things like this lucrative for the seller.
You can thank Amazon's horrible co-mingling of inventory. Even Amazon won't even know which ones are real or fake once they hit the warehouse shelf, so they have to take them all down. I'm sorry some imbecile modded you down but I think you are right, and this is probably what happened.
No comparison. Most of those take hand-eye coordination or brains. The first thing you do with a spinner is also the only thing you do, but I guess that fits in with the modern attention span.
I remember taking the heads out of a broken VCR, and spinning it. Those bearings and all that mass made it spin for a pretty long time. It was fun maybe twice.
What you are explaining is called 'shopping', and it seems many people today are too busy or too gullible to shop. They just buy, then complain if they find out they were just a sucker.
When they started prime, it seemed obvious to me all they were doing was offering faster shipping and waiving the minimum purchase requirement of $25 to get 'free' shipping. They added streaming later, so there is that.
Funny thing is free super save shipping is back down to a $25 purchase again, so unless you buy low cost items every day or need it in 2-3 days, prime is useless except for their streaming service.
I still use Fedora, mainly because I am very familiar with it.
Started out with Redhat 6.2, long before there was a Fedora. Never had to reinstall to upgrade, even when they renamed it Fedora. Although sometimes you had to get into the nuts and bolts to make the upgrade work. Finally at Fedora 23 I decided to switch to 64 bit, so had to install from scratch for the first time in over a decade.
Used to use gnome up until that thing they call 3.0, switched to XFCE and never looked back.
Your argument is comparing is apples to oranges. They ended free service. You are free to pay a lawyer to try getting free service back, good luck with that.
Do you want flat boards or not ? If so there has to be something removed to flatten the thing. If the 'standard sizes' were increased to match your expectations they will just increase the price to cover the addition board feet needed to meet the requirement.
Modern wood is grown so fast that it shrinks a lot more than it used to when dried. Not all wood shrinks the same, even from the same tree, so right out of the kiln almost none will be the same dimension, even along the same board. Some will warp so bad they have to be used as scrap. If lumber wasn't planed 'or dressed' down to a standard thickness, getting a wall that doesn't look like a wet noodle would be a ton more work and expense than just putting up 'dimensional' studs.
I'd be curious if that 2x6 rough timber house had plaster or drywall. Drywall needs a certain degree of levelness, whereas plaster can cover it all up.
What checkbox? I don't see anything on the v59.0.3071.104 settings page that relates to headless. It is not "enable running background apps when google chrome is closed", as that has been available for a long time and is probably unrelated. Headless mode is started via command line option: "--headless". Care to explain where the setting to disable this is ?
This bugged me too, the title is nonsense. "Apple Row Bites" is not a thing, nor is it grammar. Perhaps it is slang in some small town in the UK? Google search for "row bite" only shows results for bedbugs. The copy and pasters have infiltrated slashdot, just like the rest of the computer world.
Perhaps it is unrelated, but they finally fixed the bug I had on Fedora 25 / XFCE whereby attempting to open a link from outside chrome (such as from an email client) would kill chrome if it (chrome) wasn't on the visible workspace. I lost count of how many times I lost all my open tabs because of this annoying bug.
So it's taking all this time for nothing to progress, and you want to start a congressional investigation? How about just getting it done, which is apparently not what current government can do anymore.
This is what happens when it's just government contractors, contractors all the way down.
Slashdot Mirror
owner couldn't simply replace the car key without risking the car battery to overcharge and catch fire
That's a thing?
So why is Amazon going with this route?

If only you had bothered to read the summary. A quarter of it is all about that.

It was intended as an insult. But thanks for explaining it for the younger crowd, I guess.
My ass, posting it to the open public makes you nothing more than a script kiddie.
Did you read what the respondent wrote?
baked into the cost of the item
You did pay for the item, didn't you?
I already know. You need to find the other user.
Hi! I am the second user. The ops job is done here.
Shame they broke the promise of the windows 10 upgrade for my lumia 450. Bastards.

The service to this point was free, what could a class action possibly do except make lawyers money? Entitlement, indeed.
That is great and all until you realize that the places that need this were built on desert.

Whoosh!
It's not even a small station wagon, picture looks like a larger hatch back. Looks more like it has a trunk more than it has anything else.

No mention of their state of health. Only the ones enslaved by keepers.
Once I realized that was a reference to the resistor color code, I had to laugh.
Sadly you got down modded, probably by a clueless millennial.
